Recipe for meatballs in curry with spicy rice
A serving of meatballs in curry can be either a rather dull affair or a festive meal.
If the sauce is thin, lacks flavor or strength, and is served with plain white rice, it’s a bland experience.
However, if it is prepared as described here, where a generous amount of curry is roasted intensely with onions and apples, the sauce is enhanced with sweet and sour elements from chutney, and a bit of crunch and freshness is added with peanuts and mango, it becomes an amazing dish.
